How To Buy An Airplane With No Money! | Ep. 38 of The Kevin Choe Show

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Fitch — former Marine Corps aviation mechanic turned commercial pilot and creative finance investor — to talk about how he’s buying airplanes with little to no money out of pocket.

We break down:

- How airplane investing mirrors real estate investing
- How creative financing (yes, even Subto!) works with aircraft
- Why planes are one of the most overlooked tax write-offs
- How much cash flow you can generate by leasing to flight schools
- Why buying 1-3 planes before the end of the year could wipe out your taxes

If you’ve ever wondered how to get into aviation as an investor — even if you don’t fly — this one’s for you.
